The Lord gives His people a more profound understanding which begins with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The thoughts of the Lord are profound in ways the shallow thinking of the ungodly and foolish cannot comprehend. The Lord understands us from the inside out, even people who hide in the dark or in the secret place of their own thoughts.
It is deep within our hearts that we form our thoughts and intents; where we seek God or turn away from Him. The deep things of God call unto the depths of our hearts at the sound and teaching of the Word of God. The blessings of the deep that Joseph received was a deeper knowing and understanding of God. He can reveal unto us the profound truths that have been hidden in His mysteries.

The Lord wants to dwell in our hearts and reveal unto us His character and Love so we may plumb and understand the deep things of God.
